First a pointing --> set pointing 1.4 -16.9 (really weird profiles, the reference pixels seems too far away from the center...)

The pointing correction is large because the focus is still not good (elliptical beams) so we do a focus session again --> focus along the Z-axis direction --> set focus -0.5

Pointing to check if the beams are better after a mirror checking --> set pointing 3.2 -16.5 (the beams are indeed much more symetric)

We launch the beammap but we are not really happy with the beam shape...
